Dear Sir,

There was an story of an warrior who had crossed the seven oceans and got killed in the drain before his house!! Wondering why i mention this, well, you have been one of the best lyricist Indian cinema ever produced, all due respect to others. Always being behind the scene, we never got to see most of the artists like you coz the limelight was hogged by the actors, directors, producers and lately singers. Fame Gurukul provided an opportunity to let u know better!!

As millions of fans watching the show, i always respected the judgment of the judges and always thought they were right, but with limited musical knowledge, i sometimes, fear to say here, that I doubted the genunity of the judgment. Sometimes the judgement was clear and sometimes it was so depressingly biased towards a candidate who didn't deserve it. And there is this particular mention i want to make of one incident where you lead the team in destroying the future prospects of a budding singer. Yes Shamit Tyagi it is, he might not be in your favorite list, but you can not deny the fact that he is a good singer.

Your Comments

Your Judgment

When he sang KAVA KAVA, you said no one can come even close to singing the first couple of lines

But still u put him in danger zone!!

In the last episode of his presence here you said that he should be in safe zone , abused ilaji that she was confused about her judgement!!

And still u chose rex over Shamit to be in safe zone in the first place, you had your change but u are pointing fingers at others

When shamit voted for gurpreet you called him a politician, and killed his conscious for the next n episodes he was there, you such a position where u have the power to make or break a career, have made a derogatory comment on a budding singer,

And when arijit voted for monica , u support him saying

  1. If u gave them the right to vote, don't ask, why did u not support shamit with the same logic?
  2. When u said, all are good singers and there is nothing wrong in voting out for self to become to jodi, in support of arijit what is wrong in shamit voting with the same logic as qazi telling that I thought no one will vote for monica so I voted for her?

And many more but due to space constraint and audience tolerance i have to mention the latest three

I doubt how your conscious lets u sleep at nights? Would u feel the same if it was done to Farhan?? Not everyone has godfathers nor are born with silver spoons, well if you are unable to make someone's career, I on behalf of fans of millions request you not to destroy budding careers.

When the judges were asked about the lyrics being written by students, are we to conclude from your statement the sense of insecurity creeped in with the new talent, we hate to say that , but the gentlemen we thought you were, with the kind of talent and knowledge you passed on to the Hindi Film industry tends to zilch for some ardent fans like us. With all due respect I tend to end this letter saying that if the show is scripted this letter and abhorrence we developed is wrong, but if you made all these decisions by yourself, then sir, I think you should be prepared with an explanation when you meet the almighty at the gate.

Sincerely,

Aditi Gill

Aditi the letter is very well written but I contradict on few points.
1. Putting in danger zone is the unianymous decision of all four judges (including the celebrity) so we cnat point our fingers at Javedji only.
2. All the judges felt Rex was better that day so he was not in danger and as they can save limited number of people only Shamit had to be there. Javed shouted on Ila as he felt that amongst the 4 in danger zone he was the best and faculty should have saved him. So the comparison between Rex and Shamit is wrong here, he was better than Sandeep not Rex.
3. Javedji only scolded Shamit coz he wanted to prove that he is in danger zone that they coz of his decision in voting out Kirtu, then the whole thing started. He never said anything to him on the first day he voted if u remember.
4. As Javedji always had said Shamit was never his favorite coz he never the found the ingredients one need to have to become a Fame Jodi in him. This is everyone's personal choice we just cant say no mattrwhat Shamit is the best and Javedji is wrong.

well aditigill, instead of asking Javed Saab i can give all the answers myself, Javed saab is a straight forward person, jo dil me hai wo bol diya

now coming to ur questions 1 about Kava Kava, shamit was good and he deserved praise from javed so he was praised, in that gala only one student was suppose to be saved so arpita was saved as she was the best among all, this doesnt mean that shamit was not good, he was good but judges has the constraint of saving just one in that episode (remember only 6 were left then and ruppu was immune so among rest 5 judges had to save only one and it was arpita as she was the best, by the way if u remember shamit was saved by faculty that day and javed saab (for a change) agreed with faculty that day)

now coming to your second question 2: Javed saab said shamit shouldn't be in danger zone because his performance was the best among last 4 so faculty should have saved shamit, how rex is coming in picture

coming to ur question 3: about grilling shamit over kirti episode was a fair move. i think u r not ready to accept the fact that shamit was well aware that arijit would have voted gurupreet and mona would have voted gurupreet as well as both of them were close to Gurepreet. still shamit gave the excuse that he vote her bcos he thought noone will vote her. also judges never pointed out shamit for kirtis exit, he was the one who started giving explaination so he was the one who was grilled, u see anubhav also voted GP but never gave much explaination so noone questioned him. as far as arijit is concerned, javed saab is supporting him as arijit has a valid reason , if faculty can support new comers so students can

Aditi you write very well I must say. But you are missing some points.

1) When Shamit sang KAVA KAVA Javed said Shamit I want you to sing some easy song one day so that I know how your actual voice sounds. Clearly the judges liked Arpita that day so all the others went in danger zone. But all of them were very close. So it could have been anybody. Infact Shamit would have been out after that episode itself because there was pressure on faculty to save Rex and atudents would choose Arijit over Shamit. But it did not happen.

2) Kirti was voted out in the beginning. He did not get any chance to showcase his talent. But Javed did not point fingers at any one person. It was Ila who pointed fingers at Shamit by showing some clip of Shamit and Arijit. The judges saw it on Tv. Naturally when Shamit kept on raising the issue again and again thinking he was put in danger zone because of it Javed got angry and felt there might have been some manipulation otherwise why is this man obssessed with this issue.

3) He supported Arijit maybe because he felt that Shamit was no match for Arijit or he feels that Shamit had to go one day or other because Javed clearly does not see Shamit as fame jodi. He mentioned that too yesterday. Javed felt that Shamit did not have the charisma to become fame jodi.

4) Now the competition is tough. Each of these top 6 thier life has been made. All of them are good. So you can vote on any basis and for any reason. But if before you voted out all the good singers then we will be left with nothing in the end hence the change of stance.

i totally agree with you. dont worry about the ppl who dont agreecoz they are all mindwashed with their perspective that are shown through tv. i agree with u . javed is sometime discouraging just to shammit. i always thought that but i thought it was just my imagination,but when javed said he was never in my fav list in such a critical time when he was leaving he should have said something graceful. bilkul bondhi baath kahi.

I agree with Amit and Shifali.
Javed ji is in the position of judge and he always pointed out the right error in the contestents singing or performance. Becuase of his bold comments only, these contestents have reached to this level. They are now real singers and performers. Shamit is also a good singer. He was always praised by Javedji whenever he sang or performed good. It was his bad luck that he could not stay for a long time in FG. Kirti is no doubt better than Shamit but he is also unlucky to move ahead.
